Question
  1. Consider an unsuccessful attempt to take off a tire using a wrench to loosen the bolts. Assume the wrench is 0.3m long and are you able to apply a 200N force 
    1. Because the tire is flat you can only apply your force at a 60° angle.  What is the torque at the center of the bolt.   
    2. You find a tire jack and are now able to apply 200N of force at an 80° angle.  Is the resulting torque more or less and what is the new torque.
